To ask your question you must write or say "DOES anyone know ...". The verb "do" is often used when we ask a question, e.g. Do you know how to use a computer? Do you have a job? Do you want some more food to eat? Do you like other languages? The common meaning of "war" is a violent fight between two countries, provinces or states. But when the people are not happy and they fight against their government it is usually called "civil unrest". Unrest means that the people or groups of people are not happy and they try to show the ones in control that they want some changes. Because I don't know much about the fighting in west Africa, I don't know if it would be called a war or unrest. I hope my answer helps a little bit.
